I had a lot of flashbacks while walking through downtown Montreal—memories of walking through the streets of Metro Manila. At least the recollections are not colored with sadness this time, thanks to a Spotify-curated playlist blasting in my ears.

Liked Dr. Natalya Fateyeva on Instagram: "Different nervous systems often communicate affection in different dialects. Some people say “I love you” with eye contact and long conversations. Others say it by sending you a meme they analyzed for ten minutes before pressing send. 🧠🎧🌱 Understanding someone’s care language means paying attention not just to what they do, but to the meaning underneath it. A lot of neurodivergent affection is deeply intentional, even when it doesn’t always look conventional on the surface. 💜" (Instagram)

Filipinos in fact still use dual surnames; we mostly use them either in Spanish or in criminal records. And in Tagalog/Filipino, we call middle names the “panggitnang apelyido” or “apelyido ng ina”. Filipinos using a single surname is an American holdover, and while I think it would be good for us to revert to using two surnames it will be a very tall order to do so.

Notice my occasional use of a double-barreled last name for social media.

Read Hunter x Hunter, Volume 1
Hunters are a special breed, dedicated to tracking down treasures, magical beasts, and even other people. But such pursuits require a license, and less than one in a hundred thousand can pass the grueling qualification exam. Those who do pass gain access to restricted areas, amazing stores of information, and the right to call themselves Hunters.
